FLOWTRON, division of Armatron warrants your Flowtron Leaf-Eater to be free from defects in mate-

rials or workmanship under normal use and service for one year from date of the original purchase.

All parts which are defective will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Any implied warranties,

including the implied warranty of merchantability are also limited in duration for one year from the

to misuse, neglect or accident, nor which is used for a purpose for which it is not designed, or which

shall have been repaired or altered in any way so as to adversely affect its performance and relia-

bility. Service by unauthorized parties voids your warranty. Warranty covers only the original pur-

chaser. Commercial and/or professional use is excluded from warranty coverage.

Flowtron neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any other liability in connec-

tion with its products. No responsibility is assumed for any consequential damages that may result

from the use of a Flowtron product, not for damages due to accident, abuse, lack of responsible

care, the afﬁxing of any unauthorized attachments, loss of parts or subjecting this unit to any but the

speciﬁed voltage. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of the incidental or conse-

quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from

state to state.
